Customer Notice: Protect Yourself from Counterfeit ORACLE Flush Tail Lights

At ORACLE Lighting, our mission has always been to deliver innovative, high-quality lighting solutions that set the standard in the automotive aftermarket. Our Flush-Mount LED Tail Lights for Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, Bronco, and other trucks have quickly become one of the most popular upgrades that we offer. Unfortunately, with that popularity comes the threat of counterfeits.

We are aware of unauthorized replicas of our patented tail light design being illegally manufactured overseas—primarily in China—and some of these imitation products have already been sold in the U.S. through unregulated platforms such as Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and unauthorized online sellers.

We want our customers to know: we are taking swift and aggressive legal action to combat these violations and protect consumers from these fake copies.

ORACLE LIGHTING HAS A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF DEFENDING OUR PATENTS
This is not the first time we’ve been targeted—and it won’t be the first time we fight back. ORACLE Lighting has successfully enforced its intellectual property rights both in the U.S. and internationally:

• In 2019, a Chinese court ruled in favor of ORACLE Lighting, ordering counterfeiters to cease infringing activities and awarding damages. As reported by SEMA and CIPLawyer.net, the court found in our favor for unauthorized copies of our popular lighting products.

“This ruling sets an important precedent for foreign companies protecting their IP in China,” said Justin Hartenstein, founder of ORACLE Lighting.
– SEMA News, 2020

• Our legal partners at Vaudra International traced infringing designs from a Las Vegas trade show booth all the way to a Chinese factory—resulting in the shutdown of illegal production and seizure of inventory.
• As highlighted by Sission IP Law, our proactive enforcement strategy includes both international litigation and domestic takedowns of online counterfeit listings.

We take this issue very seriously because our reputation—and your trust—are built on originality, safety, and quality.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

• Counterfeit tail lights are not manufactured or supported by ORACLE Lighting. They often look similar... don't be fooled by imitations!
• ORACLE cannot process returns, exchanges, or warranty claims for counterfeit products that did not originate from us or an authorized dealer.
• To ensure authenticity, only purchase from ORACLE Authorized Dealers or Retailers. If in doubt, contact us before purchasing.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

• Avoid unverified listings on platforms like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or auction-style sites.
• Verify the seller: If you’re unsure whether a retailer is authorized, contact our team to confirm.
• Look for warning signs: unusually low prices, vague listings, or poor product packaging may indicate a fake.

While we strongly condemn the illegal and unethical act of counterfeiting, we also recognize that these knockoffs target only products that are innovative and have high consumer demand. That, in a way, is a backhanded compliment—but it won’t stop us from protecting innovative designs.

To anyone who may have unknowingly purchased a counterfeit product, we share your frustration. Our team is here to support you however we can and will continue to pursue all available legal channels to hold counterfeiters accountable.

If you have concerns or need help verifying a product, please reach out to us at [email protected] or 1-800-407-5776.

Thank you for supporting authentic innovation and helping us protect the ORACLE Lighting brand.

Probably but even if a clerical win in a Chinese court is something you do not see often when one of the parties is not in country.

I am impressed you actually won in a Chinese court.

We did everything by the book (which is hard in China) we had to basically have a sting operation done (they call this a notarized purchase in the Chinese Courts) where we had to buy the counterfeit parts with hidden cameras and have the factory representative on camera selling the parts before we could even file a suit.

The factory appealed the judgement after the case went in our favor so we had to go back to court in China but we won again on appeal and were actually awarded additional damages.

Until more companies step up and enforce their IP rights in China this will continue to happen.

I can not even tell you how many other companies in the automotive industry told us we were wasting our time filing a lawsuit in China. That's just want the standard belief is. It can be done and more people need to know this.
